Tamarind(Chintapandu)pulihora...generally called as Pulihora.A very well-known authentic southindian recipe.By default for every other function and festivals people esp in my house pulihora is very common...starting from Barasla~Naming cermony to wt not for sankranthi,ugadi,diwali and the list goes on... :D.

My grannie and my aunt is very good at making pulihora..for a better and unique taste they add Mustard seed paste..in telugu we'll call "Aava" to pulihora...gosh the taste is as unqiue as any other hand made pulihora's.

Though we have pulihora in our house very common,I love eating "Pulihora prasadam" from temples..standing in the queue and getting handful of pulihora and eating..that feels like heaven.

I love eating pulihora made by my aunt(grannie is no more :(.... ) and the pulihora at temples,esp tirumala venkateswara swami's pulihora prasadam..such a delicious one, still a mystery wt all the'll add for pulihora.Whenever we were been to tirupati,Nanna used to give the pujari's 5 or 10 n used to get even more pulihora..n v enjoyed eating that.... :D

Even we can make Pulihora with left over rice also...

Here is my way of doing....

Ingredients:

Cooked rice

Tamarind Pulp - 1 cup

Turmeric powder - 1 Tbsp

Mustard seed Paste-1 1/2 Tbsp

salt per taste

For Seasoning:

Oil

Hing/Inguva

Chana Dal

Urad Dal

Mustard seeds

Peanuts

Green chillies

Red chillies

Curry Leaves

Directions:

First compelte the seasoning part..take a pan make oil to heat and add the seasoning stuff as per the order above.

Meanwhile for mustard paste grind the mustard seeds and keep that aside.

Now come the tamarind part..cook the tamarind pulp for 2-3 min sitll it thickens.

Now take a wide mouth plate 'coz u can mix well and in that add cooked rice add turmeric,salt,mustard seed paste,tamarind pulp and seasoning stuff.Mix it well and add enough oil at the end if reqires....'coz the more oil u add,the more tast n tangy it'll be.

Thanks a ton for passing the award to me. We do the same kind of pulihora using Ava sometimes using Seasame seeds powder(Nuvvual Podi). You are right, always the temple one gives a unique taste because of the god .

I love this and Love the tirumala one but I love their ladoos more so we used get those more. I miss my friends moms pulihora she used to make it with something else and not rice not sure what you call it, i think we call it Poha or Puffed Rice
